oh okay, but how much does it affect the amount of tricks you can do? i also have heard that having a low tow-rope somewhat pulls you down..is that true?

A tower or pylon will help you get more hangtime, it will make it easier for beginners to get up, and it allows you to go higher in the air. It definatly is not nescessary but it will help.

Might want to search around for some more topics about this by using the search button at the top.
